I've seen both types on here.

The second kind will only alienate the people you claim to want to convince, so it's hard to understand the point...other than seeking like-minded people to make you feel right.

Make Citi Call You!
Dear Friend,

Citi and Bank of America certainly heard from RAN last week.

Thousands of activists took to the streets during RAN's National Day of Action Against Coal Finance. We held hundreds of actions, rallies and protests from one coast to the other -- and in plenty of places in between. Every action had one clear message for both banks: stop funding coal, start funding renewable energy!

But I have a question for you: What would you say about coal if Citi called you?

Would you ask them why they are the biggest backer of coal, the single biggest cause of global warming?

Recently Halifax, Nova Scotia(Canada) a by-law was just passed that makes smoking in your vehicle with children illegal.
Now although myself I smoke but would never smoke in a vehicle with a child, I believe this is a violation civil rights.

Before Anti-Smokers jump down my throat, I don't agree with smoking in a house of vehicle with young children in it but I do believe that should be the choice of the parent.

I would be interested to hear other opinions on it and if you think its a human rights violation.

Surely there has to be something that can be done to these sick and pathetic people.

What kind of an adult poses as a child? There should be a law, period, about this. Surely the case can be made the Drews attempted something nefarious for this child.

Agree with him or not, you can trust that Obama really believes what he says. Hillary says whatever she thinks will get votes & will not even get as many votes as John Kerry did. I don't agree with many of Obama's stands but here is a positive aspect that can be respected:

[An abortion protester at a campaign event] handed me a pamphlet. "Mr. Obama, I know you're a Christian, with a family of your own. So how can you support murdering babies?"
I told him I understood his position but had to disagree with it. I explained my belief that few women made the decision to terminate a pregnancy casually; that any pregnant woman felt the full force of the moral issues involved when making that decision; that I feared a ban on abortion would force women to seek unsafe abortions, as they had once done in this country. I suggested that perhaps we could agree on ways to reduce the number of women who felt the need to have abortions in the first place. "I will pray for you," the protester...

Would appear that 'teflon' Hillary, despite all the 'gates' attached to her remain on an upward curve.... looks like Mr. President Clinton's popularity is NEVER on the wain.

We are all immigrants, many anti immigration organizations argue that immigrants "spread diseases and that they don't pay taxes." The truth is that 75% of the immigrants pay taxes.
They enrich our economy. CAN you imagine, the U.S with out immigrants? Who will pick our fruits and veggies? They just take the jobs that "American citizens, or residents don't want to take" because they claim to be civilized. However immigrants just come for a better life.! They work for so little money and yet don't complain.
these are some of the arguments i have heard so now you tell me.. what do you think?

While many, say "illegal immigrants" bring diseases and that they don't pay taxes, others say that illegal immigrants enrich our economy, such that 75% pay taxes. Really the truth is that, immigrants just come to the U.S FOR! a better life. I mean how would you feel if YOU! were an immigrant I'M SURE! that you would be seeking for a better life just like they immigrate from their countries to ours, "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." They take jobs that others can't take because they are too harsh.
a quick example: the fires that were happening in California, many immigrants homes were burned down, and they wanted to get aid from donations that others donated, and they couldn"t just because of their immigration status. BUT YET, when immigrants wanted to donate, they were permitted.!!!!
IT'S just so amazing how discrmination is increasing in this country.....
whats your opinion?.
